Asiago Bacon Breakfast Bread

If you have ever had a warm Asiago cheese bagel from Panera Bread you are going to fall in love with this Breakfast Bread from Fleishmann's. Crumbled bacon and two kinds of cheese are baked into this pan yeast bread. The recipe was written for dutch oven cooking. This is basically a yeast version of a quick bread, once you mix the batter all you have to do is spread it in your dutch oven, wait for it to rise and bake. Mine baked in a 10 inch oven with 10 coals in a ring around the bottom and 18-20 on the lid. I got caught in a rain shower so had to stand over it with an umbrella while I was waiting for the cheese to melt. It was well worth waiting in the cold dampness, I was duly rewarded with a big slice of this warm, cheesy bread. For being loaded with cheese and bacon it is surprisingly light. A bread you may not want to eat every day but if you're in the mood to splurge on something scrumptious, give this one a try.

PG, I like this recipe. I struggle with artison breads. They look great outside but the inside seems to be gummy. This one looks like one I can handle. Need a good bread for competition,that where I lack the most. BIGDADDY
